Hi! It's interesting that there's no standard in Wikipedia regarding the use of state/government flags. Compare Germany with Ecuador, Poland or Serbia. I won't oppose it if you change the flag again. Best regards, Alæxis_¿question? 17:38, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

I have reverted your edits again because a link to a website does not count as a reference. You must provide the location of the page and section of the website where the information can be found, like how book references include page numbers. I have no problem with information being added, but you have to provide a proper reference. i.e. one that gives the exact location of the information you are adding to the article.

This might help: Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners Betty Logan (talk) 19:24, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

It's been tidied up. You added that the information was in the FAQ section as part of the reference which made the ref ok, but I altered it slightly so it links to the actual FAQ section which is always better if you can give a direct link. While I could have sorted out the reference myself - and I am willing to help people who try - I'm not here to pick up the slack for lazy referencing and people who make no attempt to get it right. Adding references in the external link format does not count as a reference, and it is not an over-zealous application of the rules. If information is not referenced properly in a way that enables readers to verify the information then it's not referenced at all and should be removed. That has been a problem with MartinUK on the otherhand who has been more of a hindrance than a help on the snooker project because of his refusal to correctly format references, and he has been asked before to adopt the correct conventions but has made no attempt.

John Lennon interview

I've reverted your link to YouTube as it appears to be a copyright vio. I'll rephrase the entry and link to a reference even though it doesn't mention Connolly. Not what either of us wants, but the best I can think of within the 'rules'. The interviews are available on a 2005 DVD, and its promo refers to this interaction about the song in question. As I said, unfortunately no direct ref to Connolly, but enough to allow researchers find the reference themselves. In time it should make its way into some Connolly bio which we then can link directly. RashersTierney (talk) 18:54, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Movie Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World

Hello! I modified your paragraph, formatted the cites, read the cites and moved them to where I think they support a point. I put a section on the talk page for the article, asking if your paragraph really belongs with one of the articles on O'Brian's book series, or the article on Aubrey as a fictional character. Nothing in your citations mentions the portrayal in the movie. This is just to let you know that the topic is opened on the Talk page, and that I made some changes to your text. Best to reply at the Talk page. --Prairieplant (talk)

Proposed deletion of Medaid4kids

The article Medaid4kids has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication of notability. All sources are own website except the BBC source which is a trivial mention. The Riverdance source is not independent as it's a news release from Riverdance about their partnership with this charity.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 03:33, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
